Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Socialists are apt to support such things as international standing armies, an international tax, the transfer of American capital to third world dictators, and the surrender of congressional responsibilities to the UN, the WTO, the IMF

I'm confused here. Most socialists I thought were opposed to free trade and thus the WTO and IMF. It wasn't conservatives rioting in Seattle.

[adam stevens]

BUMP!

[adam stevens]

Just for accuracy, you should know that the group these people belong to -the "international"-was denounced by Lenin which lead to the Comintern.

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

Thanks for that list of socialist organizations. I can't stand groups like Amnesty International - always meddling in countries like China and Burma. Or Doctors Without Borders, who cunningly donate their medical skills in impoverished countries. Who knows what could happen if either of those groups were at all successful in their aims. Stan Kubrick

I disagree. Doctors Without Borders is a wonderful private charitable organization. I know less about Amnesty International, but there is nothing wrong with advocating basic human rights.

You, I gather, would prefer an ineffective governmental behemoth to "solve" all the worlds ills.

Welcome to Free Republic.

Yes, I was aware of that. The socialist were a real problem in Lenin's eyes. It seems that Lenin's view of "practical" communism required skipping the socialism phase.

[Balding_Eagle]

I agree that cut and paste is easy. The creative part is how the whole collection is 'balanced' on the founders of Socialism.

[Eric Roelfsema]

We need to eliminate at least one more. Rep. David Bonior will be leaving the House of Representatives, due to that he ran for Governor of Michigan, but he lost in the primary to Atty General Jennifer Granholm.

If you have a Saturday afternoon to spare, go to her district and volunteer in the oppositions headquarters, volunteer to take yardsigns out to be put up! Volunteer to answer the phone. I'm sure you'll think of a job you'dlike to do!!

If a bimbo can see this clearly.....

[adam stevens]

Wasn't the issue World War I and Lenin's opposition?

[FreedomFriend]

Hmm, are half of America's women represenatives a part of this organization? I counted around 20 of the 59 as being women, a much higher ratio considering their much smaller presence in congress.

[FreedomFriend]

Who's not a socialist? I know that Tom Tancredo is a trusted patriot.

[Temple Owl]

But they left out Arlen Specter and Curt Weldon from Pennsylvania. They should have been included.

[Ohioan]

Freedom loving Americans would be well advised to keep a close eye on socialist Congressmen. While they may talk like the rest of us, especially when sojourning in their respective districts, they operate from a different paradigm.

They do indeed operate from a different paradigm--one based upon a succession of lies and delusions. But they do not talk like me. Since, I turned 15 1/2, I have rejected every premise of Socialism, and all the delusional verbage that goes with them. (See The Lies Of Socialism.)

Thank you for posting this list of the enemy. There are few if any surprises on it. But again, that is because these people do not talk like most of us. I only wish there was a legal way to throw the lot of them out of our country. Their whole creed is a denial of what America is all about.

14 Heartland traitors, to match Cali's 13:

David Bonior – Michigan
John Conyers – Michigan
Sherrod Brown – Ohio
Stephanie Tubbs-Jones – Ohio
Marcy Kaptur – Ohio
Dennis Kucinich – Ohio
Julia Carson – Indiana *hanging my Hoosier head in shame*
William "Lacy" Clay – Missouri
Danny Davis – Illinois
Lane Evans – Illinois
Luis Gutierrez – Illinois
Jesse Jackson Jr. – Illinois
Bobby Rush – Illinois
Jan Schakowsky – Illinois

I believe that every one of them represents densely populated urban areas.

[Salvation]

There must be senators in this organisation.

Hillary Clinton tops the list of Senators.

>>The socialist were a real problem in Lenin's eyes. It seems that Lenin's view of "practical" communism required skipping the socialism phase<<

Not at all.

Lenin simply said the truth-the people would never, never adopt socialism of their own free will, and that furthermore, once socialism was put in place by revolution, the people would work ceaselessly to undermine it.

Therefore, Lenin reasoned (correctly, see "What is to Be Done?") that Red terror before, during, and after the revolution would be required to whip the people along, to get them to act against their will, against their culture, against their religion, and against human nature.

Comunists are socialists who mean it.

[Jim Noble]

Yes, so is Ron Paul. My challenge is to match the Red 59 with 59 non-socialists.

I don't think it can be done.

[IronJack]

Bonior and Conyers are giveaways. As is Jackson from Illinois. But the Ohioans surprised me. I've always given the Buckeyes credit for more intelligence than that.

Notice there are none from Iowa, Nebraska, or South Dakota. However, with Harkin, Wellstone, and Daschle in the Senate, we can't claim complete exemption from the disgrace.
